Dear Southland District Council,
I am making this request under the LGOIMA.
1. What is the budget for the Newcomers Workshops, and how is this funded
(i.e. from rates)? $9,000 plus GST. Funded by $5,000 from Ministry of
Business, Innovation and Employment and $4,000 from rates.
2. How much is McElrea Consulting being paid to facilitate these workshops
and any reporting from same? $7,524 plus GST. NB That 2 more workshops
have been added to the original scope of this project.
3. Did McElrea Consulting tender for this work or respond to a Request for
Proposal; if so, how many other businesses did the same for this series of
workshops? Request for proposal. As Gore District Council had used McElrea
Consulting for their Welcoming Communities Plan it was agreed that SDC
would use the same consultant as they had an excellent understanding
already about the program and the standards that apply.
4. How much has Southland District Council paid McElrea Consulting since
2016?  $ 92,197.34 incl GST

Yours faithfully,
Brooke Willis
